2.5 GHZ triple core x3 415
or
2.8 GHZ dual core x2 220?

Which one of these 2 is better for gaming?
(I know both are pretty bad...but which one is better?)
Thank you

In a gaming context, they are equally bad. And almost a decade old.

Why the "choice" between those two?

Besides the CPU, what are the rest of the parts?

RAM: 5gb ddr 2
GPU: AMD 6670 1GB ddr3
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-M720-US3
WINDOWS: 7 64bit
RESOLUTION: 1680x1050 / 1280x800

tbh I don't use it for hardcore gaming..some shogun 2 total war on low, skyrim on medium etc.

So you already have one or the other?

As said...they are pretty equally bad. You won't see any real difference between the two.

Yes, I have the x220.
Okay, thank you, but if you had to choose out of the 2, the least worst option would be?

Whichever one caused the least pain in setting up, and which caused the least amount of money involved.
If I had one and were using it...I would not bother to change to the other. In either direction.
